Chapter 397 Afraid of Growing Up Going Astray
...
Lin Mingqian and Murong Yuanzhou were bullied at Fanlou, and their bodyguards came out and killed the bullies.
Ye Wan's temples throbbed when she heard the news.
I used to think my kids were pretty easy to take care of, but now I realize that these kids are really a handful.
Er Ya's matter hasn't been resolved yet, and now these two have gotten into trouble.
Ye Wan instructed her men, "Send the man to Lord Lin so he can educate him. Then take men to investigate Fanlou and make sure there are no hidden dangers."
The owner behind Fanlou remains quite mysterious to this day. Ye Wan used to think it had nothing to do with her and never investigated it.
In hindsight, it's probably best to investigate further.
The branch of the Wen family was so arrogant as to dare to flirt with the Crown Prince; they deserved to die.
It's just that educating children is a headache.
When Ye Wan became the stepmother of the three girls, the three children were basically grown up and their values were already set, so she didn't feel it was too difficult. But Lin Mingqian and Murong Yuanzhou are different.
The two of them absolutely mustn't grow up to be the opposite of what they should, or they'll become a menace.
I wonder if he was frightened when he saw the scene of murder.
Ye Wan had just finished dealing with one matter when another of her trusted confidants arrived. "Your Majesty, the Chu family has been causing trouble lately."
These people were all raised by Huigu; they were orphans without parents.
Ye Wan found it useful and brought it into the palace.
Upon seeing the message, Ye Wan couldn't help but frown. "Lin Anyuan has only just ascended the throne, and he doesn't even have any real relatives yet, but all sorts of distant relatives are popping up one after another."
"From now on, don't send these kinds of things to me anymore. Let him handle them."
Ye Wan had been busy all morning, so she simply closed her eyes and lay down on the chair.
There are just so many messy things going on.
"Your Highness, have some soup." Huigu came in and placed a bowl of soup in front of Ye Wan.
Hui Gu, who is over sixty years old, has some gray hair, but she still looks quite energetic. She has gained some weight and looks like a kind old lady when she is not killing people.
Ye Wan took a sip of soup, feeling very comfortable in her stomach. She said to Aunt Hui, "Aunt, you still care about me the most. What would I do without you?"
Without Hui Gu, she would have been in a terrible predicament as empress. It really is true that with great power comes great responsibility.
“Then I will stay with Your Majesty.” Huigu looked at Ye Wan with loving eyes.
Ye Wan sighed, "Qing Gu is enjoying her life with you, but you still have to stay with me and work hard without complaint. Sometimes I think I've really not been good to you."
Qin Gu and Luoluo, who were by Lin Suyi's side, also went on the trip, and Hui Gu stayed in the palace with them.
Hui Gu laughed and found a place to sit down. She knew that Ye Wan didn't follow these rules, and she had gradually gotten used to them over the years. When no one was around, Hui Gu wouldn't follow them, but when there were people around, she would still observe them.
"When I was young, I braved the wind and rain alone and got used to living a lonely life. Now that I'm old, I just want to be lively and bustling."
"To be frank, I consider the Empress Dowager my own daughter. Now, looking at her and my grandchildren, I feel so happy."
Hui Gu felt that the best thing she had ever done in her life was to come to Ye Wan's side.
A woman like her seems to possess an innate strength that draws people in and makes them feel at ease.
Ye Wan was a little touched. "I originally thought I was someone with few relatives, but I didn't expect so many relatives to care about me."
"Please don't say that, you're the best."
Huigu then said some kind words for a while.
Then Ye Wan was given a nap.
Ye Wan now feels that she might be getting old and needs to take a short nap, otherwise she won't be able to muster any energy in the afternoon.
...
...
On a spring afternoon, people tend to feel sleepy.
In a courtyard house in a western alley, a young couple was arguing fiercely.
"Sister, what are you thinking? You weren't always so muddle-headed, how did you become so confused now?"
Looking at his sister, whose face had become much more harsh, Chu Anbang couldn't understand how a perfectly normal person could become so unreasonable.
His brother-in-law did something wrong, driving a young woman to her death. He deserves to be punished by law. Why is his sister being so unreasonable?
Chu Rouxuan burst into tears, “He didn’t do anything, he just boasted a few times, and that shameless woman clung to him. Who knew that after he dumped her, he couldn’t think straight and died! Anbang, go and beg your sister-in-law to put in a good word for him. This matter will be let off lightly. You absolutely can’t let him pay with his life!”
"If it weren't for that woman's indiscretion, as they say, flies don't land on eggs without cracks, your brother-in-law would have..."
"Alright, stop talking." Chu Anbang couldn't take it anymore.
“Since you think it’s not serious, why don’t you ask your older brother for help instead of making me ask your sister-in-law?”
"That means you know you've done something wrong, and you still have the nerve to tell me to go see your sister-in-law?"
Chu Anbang was so angry that his face turned red. He had ruined the woman's reputation and done such a thing, yet he still had the nerve to say that the girl was immoral.
That beast was one thing, but how could his own sister say such a thing? He even doubted that the person in front of him was his sister.
"I'm not going. You figure it out yourself."
Chu Rouxuan cried pitifully, "Anbang, do you expect me to just watch your brother-in-law die? He's the father of my child!"
She didn't want to get involved, but her in-laws begged her, and her child needed a father. Because of what happened before, her older brother and sister-in-law didn't like her. She had no other choice but to come to her younger brother's place.
"If all else fails, I'll ask my sister-in-law for help. I'll go myself!" Chu Rouxuan gritted her teeth. This time, it was a matter of life and death, and she was determined to save her man.
Chu Anbang panicked, "Don't go looking for your sister-in-law. She's pregnant right now. If you upset her..."
"child?"
Chu Rouxuan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Anbang, she's a mother now too. What do you think about going to beg with your child in your arms...?"
She ran outside and knelt down in front of Lin Qingshuang with her child, refusing to believe it.
"Come back."
Chu Anbang frantically typed the words.
It's obvious that Chu Rouxuan, now a mother, has become much more shameless and is willing to go all out to cause trouble.
Chu Anbang tried to pull him back but couldn't.
Upon hearing the news, Daya spread the word that she was not in the mansion and went straight to the palace.
